I know I'm in the minority about Comey but

[Loki Liesmith]

I honestly think he is just too stupid to live.

I don't think he was actually trying to do politics by other means. I think he's just a goddamn moron.

[still_one]

1. LOL

[Awsi Dooger]

2. I just posted a similar conclusion in another thread

The internal memo babbles like a confused moron

[Gabi Hayes]

3. doesn't say much for obama's judgment, reappointing him

when are dems going to learn about putting pubs in key positions?

don't they read Peanuts?

[Loki Liesmith]

5. For some reason

Dem's think it gives them bipartisan cred to do shit like that.

It doesn't. No one actually cares.

One day they will learn this. I hope I am alive to see it.

[Gabi Hayes]

9. seriously, and this goes back to Carter, when even his own party refused to follow his agenda.

I keep pushing this book, Liberty Under Siege, by Walter Karp

he lays it all out

http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Walter_Karp/Liberty_Under_Siege.html

long excerpt......read it sometime. you'll be PISSED at Tip ONeill

that said, remember the congress went after Clinton from the getgo, refusing to vote for Anything he pushed at the beginning of his term, going so far as to insist his tax plan would bankrupt the country, when it led to the longest peace time economic expansion in history, without a single pub vote. what did Clinton's pub appointments get him?

impeached!

and it's gotten worse since, for Obama

I just don't get it

[Buckeye_Democrat]

14. I hope Hillary listens to some old FDR speeches!

He understood the Republican HORSESHIT years ago!

[okaawhatever]

6. Obama didn't reappoint him. He comes from a prosecutor background, not law enforcement. No

one would take the job, and the Republicans weren't going to confirm anyone decent. He had to talk the previous guy into staying an extra two years.

[Cosmocat]

4. No he isnt

He was a special prosecuter for the senate committee that did the whitewater hit job. That is what he cut his teeth on.

He genuinely hates them and is doing to hill now what he did to her and bill 20 years ago.

[Gabi Hayes]

11. you are exactly correct

[BeyondGeography]

7. No question that the announcement was stupid

How do you put this out there 11 days before the election without investigating first?

[ananda]

8. Lol -- and yet

In my experience, moron and politics are not
mutually exclusive.

[Loki Liesmith]

13. it's a fair cop

[Demsrule86]

10. I disagree...the first time he broke FBI protocol

and lashed out at Hillary Clinton in an unprecedented harsh statement he showed his true colors. I hope this will make the bullshit bipartisan crap a thing of the past. Comey should never have been in charge...he is a partisan and has shown his true colors once again.

[AgadorSparticus]

12. He knows exactly what he is doing and deserves everything coming to him.

I think there's plenty more movement behind the scenes we don't know about. He was highly inappropriate with his press release this summer. It hasn't been forgotten. I think there is more to come bit it won't affect our Madame President.

[Awsi Dooger]

15. I'm with stupid

Comey in that internal memo identified three variables: Timing, Brevity and Potential to be Misunderstood.

Yet he released it anyway.

There are only two conclusions: Either he was intentionally trying to come across as stupid in the memo, or he is indeed stupid.

When those two options are in play, genuinely stupid is the landslide favorite.

[BigDemVoter]

16. You very well may be right.

I just can't imagine this could be anything else, unless he's attempting to appear inept for some reason!

[Gabi Hayes]

17. you got it...you don't get where he got by being stupid

only partisan pubs do

he was in it up to the eyeballs with chaffetz, etal

he admits he told them he'd keep them up to speed on an investigation that was officially CLOSED!!!!

no way on earth he should have said a word about the possible intertwining of weiner Clinton. the journos PLEAD with them for news about ongoing investos, and they usually have nothing to say, unless it fits their agenda

this clearly did

if this turns the election, he should be prosecuted immediately for something, just as they found something to hang WJC with. who cares what they find? just DO it, and before the, gag, inauguration in 2017 of, well.........pipe dream, I know, and the Cubs just got shut out a-fucking-gain

[sweetloukillbot]

18. I think he gave a non-answer to feed the flames with plausible deniability

It's like the John Oliver episode a few weeks ago talking about Jill Stein's 911 truther comments. She didn't actually SAY it was an inside job, but she certainly left the guy who asked the question thinking she did.
I think that's what Comey did - he never SAID these e-mails were from Clinton, or related to the investigation, but he left that impression with those who were predisposed to believe it.

[dalton99]

20. Perception is reality.

There is no doubt his action is helpful to Trump.

[duffyduff]

19. He is a moron but he is a partisan hack

going back to the mid-1990s.

[geek tragedy]

21. He didn't get that position by dumb luck

He's a damn snake
